Government is Coming to Gluckstadt

The city of Gluckstadt issued the following statement. 

On behalf of the City of Gluckstadt, Mayor Walter Morrison is pleased to announce that the City has obtained two acres of land to construct a building for our Police Department and Municipal Court. Presently, the Police Department and Municipal Court are housed at City Hall.

“Last legislative session, the legislature appropriated $1,000,000 for this purpose. I want to especially thank Speaker Philip Gunn, Lieutenant Governor Hosemann, Senators Walter Michel, Josh Harkins, Briggs Hopson and Representatives Jill Ford, Karl Oliver and John Read. Without their hard work and dedication to helping the City get started, none of this would have been possible,” stated Mayor Morrison.

“The two-acre parcel of land was obtained from developer Anthony Morrison, who is of no relation to me. Anthony sold the City one acre of land at his cost and graciously donated a second acre at no cost to the City. This exhibits Mr. Morrison’s commitment to our City, his desire that the City grow and prosper and his willingness to forgo immediate profit for the greater good of the City. I cannot thank Mr. Morrison enough for his generosity.”

Mr. Anthony Morrison adds, “My wife Alexa and I are thankful to be at a point in our lives to be able to make a donation like this that will continue to serve the community for years to come. The safety of the people that live in Gluckstadt as well as the businesses that operate here is vital to the continued growth and prosperity of the city. As both developers and business owners who plan to be here long term the decision to make this donation was an easy one for us.”

The City hopes to break ground on the new Police Department and Municipal Court after the new year.

If your wealth is via fraud, then giving back the wealth is not considered generosity.

Will this building look like a giant tool shed? Everything else in the Gluck does.

What is wrong with you people?

That's cool but it's who the occupants are that's important. Good government can operate from just about any building.

Great statement by the mayor and generous donation by Mr. Morrison and wife. What a super thing. I hope and think Gluckstadt will continue to be the city that its citizens built. Superb!

3:48 ALL gov't buildings should look like sheds. I have a problem when I walk in to a grand entrance with marble floors, quartz or marble-top counters/tables and the best and latest in all office and waiting room furnishings... all paid for with tax dollars.

Oh good. More government. Hope they can raise taxes soon!

Can they exclude the apartments that will be Section 8 housing by 2035? No matter, the little darlings will be robbing, raping and shooting whether in the city or not.

The people making these comments must not be getting the government holiday tomorrow. Happy Veterans Day.

Why can’t they pay for their own damn buildings. Republicans at the State are no better than liberals.

Me thinks 6:11pm must have visited our Rankin County School District headquarters with his description. It would have been nice if Gluckstadt had told us where the location of the new compound will be.

One million per acre?

Wowzer!

Let's play a game: How many of the above posts were entered by the same clown. You get two guesses. Go.

PS: Sorry your loan was denied. Try Canton.

More government. Yippee.

Summa you fools actually don't think a city needs a facility to house these necessary government divisions? If the city had used your tax money to purchase the property you'd bitch about that too.

If somebody or another municipality donates a fork-truck or a bulldozer, get out your poster-paper and magic markers and hit the streets.

You knuckle heads obviously don't understand or realize it is usually customary for NEW cities to receive assistance to start departments and services
Also $$$$$ are allocated every year to cities statewide. IT is normal!
The legislators for those areas take the lead as they should.
The law states the Cities have to provide certain services in their municipal limits.
Did you complain when $ were allocated to Diamondhead or Ocean Springs years ago?
Doubt it.
Pay attention and understand the process.
It would save the rest of us time reading your uneducated comments.
For the record- All reports are public. The City of Gluckstadt entry is there with many other local funds allocated. Page 21... http://www.lbo.ms.gov/pdfs/2022_leg_sesn_sum_3.pdf
Stay tuned! More $$$ just may be sent to Gluckstadt next year! You are gonna wet your pants!

Like I said, no signs of intelligent life on this board, whatsoever. Just corrupted sperm and disgusting-looking eggs.

Comprehension problems among your readers, Kingfish. Or maybe it's just damn meanness.
This. Is. Good. News.
It warrants positive responses.

I do not live in Gluckstadt, but I applaud their successes thus far and wish the City and new businesses much success.

Glad we incorporated before the Board could screw up the jumble any more than already.

Amen to that!

6:11 has been to Lynn Fitch's office, not any municipal building.

Wow said...

It's a very exciting time here in Gluckstadt.

Now I hope we can really start planting some trees in my neighborhood and that my HOA approves me painting my mailbox a different color.

I always get confused about which house is mine because my neighbor, Brayleigh's looks the same!

We always used to have a big laugh about this with my other buddies John Luke and Mayden Lynn. We miss them. They had to move away because the two loans on their Polaris side-by-sides and golf cart just got to be too much. I told him not get a golf cart--he's never even played the golf ball sport in his life!

I'm so proud of everyone for ignoring the troll.

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.

Dr. Heddy Matthias and Lori Gregory will face off in the undercard dueling with dangling participles and other um, devices. Robbie Bell will perform Her two latest songs: My Best Friends are in the Media and Mama's, Don't Let Your Babies Grow up to be George Bell. Sid Salter of The Clarion-Ledger will host "Pin the Tail on the Trial Lawyer", sponsored by State Farm.

There will be a hugging booth where in exchange for your young son, Frank Melton will give you a loooong hug. Trollfest will have a dunking booth where Muhammed the terrorist will curse you to Allah as you try to hit a target that will drop him into a vat of pig grease. However, in the true spirit of Separate But Equal, Don Imus and someone from NE Jackson will also sit in the dunking booth for an equal amount of time. Tom Head will give a reading for two hours on why he can't figure out who the hell he is. Cliff Cargill will give lessons with his .80 caliber desert eagle, using Frank Melton photos as targets. Tackleberry will be on hand for an autograph session. KIM Waaaaaade will be passing out free titles and deeds to crackhouses formerly owned by The Wood Street Players.
